N.B. employees told to stop making Indigenous title acknowledgments, but won't face repercussions if they do
Staff told to instead use approved acknowledgement that excludes words 'unceded' and 'unsurrendered'
New Brunswick's Attorney General Ted Flemming says provincial employees will not face repercussions if they don't follow a new directive to stop making First Nations title acknowledgements.
Flemming issued a memo with the directive Thursday, a move he said was provoked by legal actions against the government involving Indigenous rights and land titles. Instead, the memo said employees must only use an "ancestral acknowledgement" approved by the provincial government's protocol office.
Speaking to media Friday afternoon, Flemming said provincial employees operating outside the scope of their employment are "free individuals in a free society and a free country."
"There's not going to be any acknowledgement police or anything else like that. I mean, good grief, there would be none of that."
In recent years, land acknowledgements have become a regular practice across Canada to open public events and ceremonies. In New Brunswick, they typically recognize the Wolastoqiyik, Mi'kmaq or Peskotomuhkati, depending on where the acknowledgement is being made, and often indicate an event is taking place on unceded territory.
Flemming said the province was "forced" to take this position after a title claim was filed by Wolastoqey nations in 2020.
The claim alleges the province is not upholding the Peace and Friendship Treaties signed in what is now Maine, New Hampshire, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia between 1725 and 1779. According to the federal department of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada, "Aboriginal peoples did not surrender rights to land or resources" in those treaties.
Flemming said he sent the memo because whether the land is unceded or not is still "unresolved."
Not allowed to say 'unceded,' 'unsurrendered
"As you may be aware, the Government of New Brunswick (GNB) is currently involved in a number of legal actions which have been initiated by certain First Nations against the province, including a claim to ownership and title to over 60% of the Province," read Flemming's leaked memo, which was later verified by a provincial spokesperson.
"As a result of this litigation, legal counsel for GNB and the Office of the Attorney General has advised that GNB employees may not make or issue territorial or title acknowledgements.
"This includes the use of territorial acknowledgements at meetings and events, in documents, and in email signatures."
Flemming wrote it may still be "desirable" to make an "ancestral acknowledgement," which is provided at the bottom of the memo: "We (I) respectfully acknowledge the territory in which we gather as the ancestral homelands of the Wolastoqey, Mi'gmaw and Peskotomuhkati peoples. We strive for respectful relationships with all the peoples of this province as we search for collective healing and true reconciliation and honour this beautiful land together."
"Please note the absence of terms such as 'unceded' or 'unsurrendered,' " Flemming wrote.
After Premier Blaine Higgs was re-elected in 2020, a land acknowledgement read by Lieutenant-Governor Brenda Murphy at the throne speech did not include the terms "unceded" and "unsurrendered" and consisted of one line: "We gather today on the ancestral territory of our Indigenous people."

The terms were also missing from Higgs's speech on opening day of the Assembly of First Nations' 40th annual General Assembly in Fredericton in 2019.
Flemming said Friday afternoon he had "never" used the words "unceded" and "unsurrendered" in his remarks since the claim was filed in 2020. He also said he would not police what teachers say in class, even though they're provincial employees.
'It's so disrespectful'
Oromocto First Nation Chief Shelley Sabattis said land title acknowledgements are an important part of recognizing that New Brunswick sits on land that was never surrendered to Europeans when they arrived and settled. She thinks Flemming's memo is a slap in the face to First Nations people.
"We were here since time immemorial," Sabattis said. "We were always here, and to be pushed aside and to be taken over to follow a more dominant society or more dominant culture, it just seems … ridiculous. It's like, it's so disrespectful."

Perley/CBC)
Last year, Oromocto, along with five other Wolastoqey First Nations, filed a lawsuit with the province asserting title to their traditional lands along the St. John River, also known as the Wolastoq.
The claim covers about half the province and is ostensibly the same one Flemming was referring to.
The Wolastoqey Nation in New Brunswick, a group representing six Wolastoqey chiefs, released a statement decrying the memo.
"We were forced to file a title claim because our rights continue to be ignored by GNB. Now, in response to this, the Province seeks to further trample our rights and erase us from the history of this province," the chiefs said in the statement.
The chiefs said their unceded Aboriginal title in the province of New Brunswick is a "historical fact that the provincial government is simply going to have to come to terms with."
"The Wolastoqey Nation is not seeking the return of all of the land in its traditional territory through the title claim," they said. "We made it very clear when giving the Crown notice of our claim in October 2020 that we were not looking to displace homeowners in New Brunswick."
Sabattis said she's already heard from provincial workers considering what they should do in response.
"My suggestion is just to keep on doing it, keep on acknowledging the proper acknowledgement. It is unceded, for one, and it's unsurrendered. That's what's unique about New Brunswick, or the Maritimes, even."
Mi'kmaw chiefs question negotiations with province
The six leaders said Higgs's track record shows "his unilateral decision making without any Indigenous input."
"His disdain for our people bears out in the government's refusal to conduct a public inquiry into systemic racism, his shredding of our tax agreements, his aversion to implementing any of the 94 Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission."
The province did not make the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation a provincial holiday. Higgs also pulled out of a 10-year tax-sharing agreement, calling it "unfair."
After two First Nations people were killed at the hands of police within two weeks last year, the province did not answer calls for an inquiry into the justice system's treatment of Indigeous people, instead appointing an independent commissioner to address systemic racism against all groups.
Mi'gmawe'l Tplu'taqnn Inc., the group representing the Mi'kmaw chiefs, said in a statement that while Wolastoqey nations are litigating title claim to 60 per cent of the land, 100 per cent of the land New Brunswick falls on is unceded.
"While the Mi'gmaq communities we represent have not filed a claim in court, we have entered into negotiations with the Province regarding recognition and implementation of our Aboriginal rights and title," the chiefs said.
"Unfortunately, this memo has us questioning whether the Province is negotiating in good faith, and whether these negotiations are even worth pursuing."
Legal expert questions authority of order
Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, a law professor at the University of British Columbia says the order set out in the memo appears to be legally unnecessary and could potentially undermine the opportunity for meaningful reconciliation with New Brunswick First Nations.
"First of all this, this is not an appropriate approach," said Turpel-Lafond, also a director of UBC's Residential School History and Dialogue Centre.

"Indigenous people in New Brunswick are entitled to assert their rights in the courts," she said. "What a public servant says or doesn't say by way of a greeting at a meeting is not going to be evidence that's going to sway and determine that."
Turpel-Lafond also questioned whether Flemming really has the authority to dictate what provincial employees can and can't say.
"I mean, that smacks to me like something that could touch upon racial discrimination and be, you know, quite harmful and not particularly culturally safe for the Indigenous employees in the government of New Brunswick."

Higgs government forced out head of New Brunswick RCMP, letter reveals
Public Safety minister used contract clause to demand replacement in July letter, obtained by CBC News
Public Safety Minister Ted Flemming wrote to the head of the federal police force in July, saying Larry Tremblay, the senior RCMP officer in the province, "no longer commands my confidence" and should be replaced.
RCMP spokesperson Angela Chang said before the letter was released Tuesday that Assistant Commissioner Larry Tremblay made "a personal decision" to retire at the end of this month.
Flemming told RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki in the July 15 letter that Tremblay had been an "an exemplary public servant" but that "regrettably" he was not helping the government "drive significant change" in law enforcement.
Flemming said the government considered it particularly urgent to make drug crime and crime driven by drugs the top policing priority in the province and to "reverse the trend of diminishing RCMP accountability to local government leaders."
He used a section of the province's policing contract with the RCMP to ask Lucki to replace Tremblay "immediately," noting: "It is an urgent necessity."
Public Safety released the letter after a request from CBC News.
Contract clause used to remove head of J Division
Article 7.4 of the province's 20-year contract with the RCMP for provincial policing gives Flemming the power to remove the head of J Division.
The article says the commanding officer "will be replaced as soon as practicable" after a written request from the minister "that satisfies the Commissioner that sufficient cause exists that the officer concerned no longer commands the confidence of the Provincial Minister."
The contract also gives the Public Safety minister a say in who is chosen as a replacement.
"I do not invoke article 7.4 lightly, and I regret that it has become necessary," Flemming wrote.
"Please understand I would not be writing if Assistant Commissioner Tremblay still commands my confidence as commanding officer, or if I believed a solution other than his immediate replacement was viable."
Under the RCMP's agreement to provide provincial policing services in New Brunswick, the commanding officer of J Division acts "under the direction" of the Public Safety minister.
Little insight on why removal was necessary
The contract says the RCMP will "implement the objectives, priorities and goals as determined by" the minister and will provide information, annual reports on provincial objectives and monthly reports on complaints against the force.
Flemming's letter doesn't describe where he thinks Tremblay fell short on drug enforcement.

In an interview, the minister said during local government reform consultations this year, "crime and policing" was one of the most common complaints from New Brunswickers.
"The province has put a lot of money into government action on illegal drugs," Flemming said. "We want to declare war on these people."
Last March, the provincial budget announced an extra $2.3 million for J Division's crime reduction unit "with the goal of reducing the illegal drug supply in the province."
The funding was designed to support the province's five-year addiction and mental health action plan, and was allocated to a recently created drug unit within J Division.
RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Hans Ouellette said earlier this week that the force was "well on track to meet or exceed all of its key performance indicators" for crime reduction in 2021-22.
He said the drug unit had already achieved 16 "high-risk illicit drug seizures" halfway through the year, exceeding its target of 12 for the entire year.
There were 14 disruptions of "mid-level" trafficking organizations halfway through the year, on pace to beat the year's target for 20.
Flemming said the force's statement about hitting its targets was at odds with what he was hearing around the province.
"I found and the government found that we were not having the kind of leadership that we felt we needed. The situation was serious, it was out of control, and that decision was made."
Tremblay was named assistant commissioner for New Brunswick in 2016. His replacement hasn't been officially announced.
The RCMP would not comment Tuesday on the contents of the letter obtained by CBC News.
Chang said the force is "committed to providing the best possible service to the communities we serve while remaining accountable to the budget we receive."
She also noted the data on drug-enforcement performance targets Ouellette provided earlier in the week.
"We work closely with our partners and communities on priorities, directing our resources to where we can have the most impact," she said.
On Saturday, J Division published a series of tweets that included an acknowledgement that the lands on which New Brunswick is situated are "the unceded and unsurrendered traditional territory" of the Wolastoqiyik, Mi'kmaq and Peskotomuhkati people.
That came two days after Flemming sent a memo to all provincial government employees banning the acknowledgement of "unceded and unsurrendered" territory.
An initial version of the tweet thread referred specifically to Flemming's memo and was signed by Tremblay. But it was soon deleted and replaced with a thread without a reference to the memo and without Tremblay's name.
Ouellette said in an interview on the weekend that the tweets were part of the force's efforts to strengthen the relationship with Indigenous communities as part of its national reconciliation strategy.
He said he couldn't comment on whether there were any "private conversations" between the government and the RCMP about Flemming's memo.

RCMP reverses decision on officer slated to replace N.B.'s top cop
Force gives no reason for decision after predecessor was pushed from top job by province
Sgt. Caroline Duval said "a decision has been made by the RCMP to not proceed with the pending appointment of C/Supt Kevin Leahy as Commanding Officer in New Brunswick."
No reasons were given for the decision.
In an emailed statement, Duval said Chief Superintendent Leahy "remains an active member of the RCMP."
Leahy currently heads the Parliamentary Protective Service in Ottawa.
Duval said the RCMP will ensure an interim commanding officer "will be put in place until a permanent replacement is named."
Leahy was in line to take over for Assistant Commissioner Larry Tremblay after Tremblay was pushed out of the job earlier this year by the Higgs government.

Senior Federal Court judge under fire for objections to Indigenous principles and land acknowledgments – The Globe and Mail
A senior judge of the Federal Court of Canada has strongly objected to showing respect for Indigenous people by acknowledging their unceded traditional lands in courtroom proceedings, a common practice at the Supreme Court of Canada as well as government and corporate events.
Justice Richard Bell was also critical of the Mi’kmaq concept known as “two-eyed seeing,” which encourages courts and other Canadian institutions to examine environmental and social issues from both Indigenous and Western perspectives.
Justice Bell made the remarks while hearing a judicial review case in Halifax in late May, challenging the federal government for failing to properly assess the risks of exploratory drilling for oil and gas off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. Sierra Club Canada, World Wildlife Fund and Ecology Action Centre were urging the court to quash a ruling by Ottawa to exempt the drilling from an environmental assessment.

Justice Bell made the remarks while hearing a judicial review case in Halifax in late May, challenging the federal government for failing to properly assess the risks of exploratory drilling for oil and gas off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. Sierra Club Canada, World Wildlife Fund and Ecology Action Centre were urging the court to quash a ruling by Ottawa to exempt the drilling from an environmental assessment.
“Aren’t we being a bit stereotypical toward the European version of the world in this two-eyed vision?” Justice Bell asked when the concept was raised in court. “Well, I don’t think my forebearers were very short-sighted about anything ... I don’t buy into any of that.”
As the case got underway on May 25, Justice Bell addressed lawyer James Gunvaldsen-Klaassen, who represents the three environmental groups, after he said: “I want to gratefully acknowledge that I live and work on the unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq, also known as Halifax, Nova Scotia.”
Justice Bell stopped Mr. Gunvaldsen-Klaassen and criticized him for making such an acknowledgement.
“This regard to the territory creates a problem for the court – any court – because we are called upon to decide territorial issues on a daily basis. So, what is the court supposed to respond when you do that?” Justice Bell said. “Do you understand the dilemma that puts judges in when they are faced with such an acknowledgement and we are supposed to sit there and say ‘yes,’ ‘no,’ [or] nothing. What do judges do, sir?”
It is standard practice before the Supreme Court of Canada and other courts to acknowledge unceded traditional Native lands in opening sessions or when governments or public institutions make announcements.
Mr. Gunvaldsen-Klaassen responded that he was expressing his “own personal conscience” and wasn’t seeking a finding from the court.
However, Justice Bell told Mr. Gunvaldsen-Klaassen that if he felt strongly about acknowledging traditional Indigenous territory, he should seek permission from First Nations leaders that he is coming on to their lands.
“Write the chiefs of the appropriate First Nations and get their permission, and then if you get their permission, then the Court will hear you,” he said. “In the future, you ask the permission of the First Nations you are concerned about.”
Canada’s first Indigenous justice minister, Jody Wilson-Raybould, would not comment directly on the case, but said recognizing First Nations territory at the outset of proceedings “in some ways complements the symbolism of the court and the evolution of our legal orders in Canada.”
The following day, Justice Bell took issue when Crown counsel lawyers Sarah Drodge and Melissa Grant raised the concept of “two-eyed seeing,” an idea first advocated by Mi’kmaq Elder Albert Marshal. He argued that “beneficial outcomes are much more likely in any given situation when we are willing to bring two or more perspectives into play.”
The two federal justice lawyers argued that consideration of Indigenous and Eurocentric views were a “great development,” adding that the two-eyed principle is being increasingly incorporated into government policy-making.
Justice Bell, who is also Chief Justice of the Court Martial Appeal Court of Canada, said he interpreted two-eyed seeing as giving the impression that “those of us of European descent are short-sighted and basically visionless.
“If my interpretation is correct and European peoples are supposed to be short-sighted, man, is that ever a misapplication ... of my experience with respect to what some very brave people did in the world in the past four or five or six hundred years,” he said. “Much of it doesn’t show a short-sighted vision of the world to me.”
Later in the proceedings, Justice Bell said, “maybe I was being over-sensitive” in raising objections to the concept of two-eyed seeing.
In a statement to The Globe and Mail on Sunday, Mr. Gunvaldsen-Klaassen said that the three environmental groups involved in the case “strongly disagree with the negative comments from the bench about the guiding principle” of two-eyed seeing.
“As predominantly settler organizations, it is incumbent on us to name and address systemic inequities and biases that disproportionately harm Indigenous peoples and communities,” he said. “It is essential to dismantle the white colonial privilege that exists within the legal profession and the administration of justice in Canada. This work is critical to building a more accessible justice system – one that is free of arbitrary barriers created by prejudice and white privilege, and trusted by all people in Canada.”
Ms. Wilson-Raybould added the justice system has interacted with Indigenous peoples differently, reflecting the legacy of deeply rooted colonialism.
“It is time for greater leadership by the bench, the bar and governments to move these changes forward in a systematic way,’ she said.
This is not the first time Justice Bell has engendered controversy. In 2017, he wrote a character reference for former federal judge Robin Camp after he stepped down following a Canadian Judicial Council recommendation that he be removed from the bench.
While sitting as a judge in 2014, Mr. Camp had asked why a rape complainant didn’t resist by keeping her knees together.
Justice Bell, a friend of Mr. Camp’s, wrote a letter of support to allow him to rejoin the legal profession. “He’s just a very, very good person,” he wrote.

INDIGENOUS BAR ASSOCIATION IN CANADA RESPONDS TO STATEMENTS REGARDING INDIGENOUS LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS IN COURTROOMS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
13 July 2021
OTTAWA, ONT – On May 25th, 2021, Federal Court Justice Richard Bell voiced his strong objections to the practice of recognizing traditional and unceded Indigenous lands within courtroom procedures. In response to these comments, the Indigenous Bar Association in Canada (the “IBA”) wishes to express its extreme disappointment.[1]
During a recent and ongoing judicial review application, Justice Richard Bell stated that providing “regard” to Indigenous territory “creates a problem for the court.” Proceeding to question whether counsel “understand[s] the dilemma that [land acknowledgments] put judges in,” he also opined to the effect that land recognition is inappropriate within courtroom settings. Where participants in the court system happen to “feel strongly” about acknowledging Indigenous lands, they should, according to Justice Bell, seek Indigenous permission for land-access instead of expressing their sentiments to the judiciary.
The IBA is a national non-profit association comprised of First Nations, Inuit and Métis lawyers, judges, academic’s, law students and legal professionals from across Canada. As an organization dedicated to, among other things, the recognition, promotion, and respect of Indigenous laws, legal cultures and traditions, the IBA remains deeply troubled by these remarks.
Though land acknowledgments are in some ways a peripheral gesture in Canada’s ongoing process of reconciliation, and are not themselves without controversy among Indigenous groups on Turtle Island, they have nonetheless become increasingly common practice. In addition, for many people, land acknowledgements signal the bare minimum demonstration of solidarity and commitment to reconciliation in many circumstances.
For centuries, territorial acknowledgments have existed as an indispensable aspect of Indigenous diplomacy, and for over a decade these statements have been customarily accepted within adjudicative processes, educational institutions, and courtrooms. Aside from denying the widespread acceptance (or at-least tolerance) that land acknowledgments have gained within contemporary legal culture, Justice Bell’s remarks about the practice incorrectly imply that these statements are at once political, problematic, and inappropriate within legal processes. In other words, the practice of land acknowledgements is incompatible with judicial neutrality, and therefore is something of an affront to Canadian sovereignty.
The IBA’s view is that nothing could be further from the truth. The overarching purpose of these statements, since at-least the 94 Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, has been to foster recognition of Indigenous history and honour the past, present, and future contributions of Indigenous peoples to what is now known as Canada. While part of the aim of land acknowledgements is to recognize the historical oppression of Indigenous peoples by institutions of colonial power, as well as how that oppression has influenced relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples, they also recognize accepted facts. Namely that, in the words of the Supreme Court of Canada, “Aboriginal peoples were here when Europeans came, and were never conquered.”
In addition, land acknowledgments are commonplace and unproblematic within the Supreme Court of Canada. If acceptable practice at Canada’s highest court, it is hard to understand why the same gesture of respect and acknowledgment finds criticism in the courts below.
In the IBA’s view, land acknowledgments represent a step forward in the process of reconciliation currently underway in Canada. Indeed, land acknowledgments also serve important educative, reconciliatory, and reformative purposes. As such, they aspire to be more than just a tip of the cap to Indigenous histories or a simple and often impertinent request to tread upon unceded and traditional territories.
Rather than questioning their inclusion as “problematic” the IBA encourages Canadian courtroom procedure to embrace land acknowledgements—including by working with Indigenous communities on who’s traditional territory various courtrooms are situated to identify appropriation statement of recognition—as a way to foster an increasingly positive relationship between Indigenous populations and Canadian society.

Dredging up the Past
Richard Bell
2 February -9 March 2018
Gertrude Contemporary
21-31 High Street, Preston SouthOpening: Friday 2 February, 6–8pm
Dredging up the Past was the most recent body of paintings by leading Australian artist Richard Bell and continued his ongoing campaign of focusing attention upon the disempowerment of Indigenous Australian peoples. Employing the visual tropes of canonical painting of the twentieth century, Bell appropriates all that is familiar within the modern Western tradition of art, yet subverts the vernacular to raise crucial issues around unceded Aboriginal sovereignty.
Many of the works within Dredging up the Past are imbued with the same irreverent humour Bell is renowned for, yet there is also evident a more direct sense of political urgency disentangled from his typical subversive wit. The exhibition could potentially be interpreted as more mature, indeed, more serious in its narrative delivery than other works, unhinged from satire, yet still with the same anger that is the pervasive thrust of his work both as an activist and artist. At times totemic in scale, the paintings demanded our attention, and conveyed, in no uncertain terms, some strategies toward a more equitable cultural realignment.

RCMP revealed Thursday that officers have seized a "substantial ...

Some Alberta RCMP Disciplinary Cases in 2005-06 (Year to Date)
- Sgt. Brian Topham -- reprimand and forfeiture of 10 days' pay.
Topham, who served at the Fox Creek detachment between 2002 and 2004,
made insensitive and degrading comments about women in the presence of
a female civilian employee.
On another occasion, Topham said "1974 was the worst year in the RCMP
because that is when the RCMP let women in the force."
The allegations also involved stereotypical comments about aboriginals
and people from Newfoundland made in the presence of officers who had
those backgrounds.

High River homeowner upset police entered his home three times after
flood hit and seized antique firearms
205

The RCMP's post-flood seizure of two family heirloom firearms that
were hidden in his home is an outrageous trespass, says a High River
man.
The Mounties made three trips into the home of Greg Kvisle before
seizing the guns, a 1912 Winchester long-barreled shotgun and a
50-year-old .303 rifle in the days following June's deluge.
"My grandfather passed them down to my dad and when he passed away we
brought them here for safekeeping," said Kvisle, adding neither weapon
has been fired in decades.
"It's a sentimental thing for me."
He said both guns were stashed in a corner of his basement in a
storage area beneath boxes and far from any ammunition.
"They weren't visible and were secure as far as I saw it," said Kvisle.
His street wasn't impacted by the flooding and hadn't been evacuated,
but Kvisle said he was in Calgary when the water hit its height, and
was barred from returning home for nine days.
Once home, his suspicions that the two weapons might have been seized
were quickly confirmed.
About half of his neighbours had remained home, including those next
door who kept an eye on his property and helped Mounties enter his
home three times, said Kvisle.
"I just don't understand why they were searching for them," he said.
"They're supposed to be protecting our home, not looting it."
Kvisle said he had no trouble getting back his weapons from RCMP
officers, whom he called courteous and professional.
But the fact Mounties had taken hidden guns from his home on a
partly-populated street police were patrolling rankles him.
"What's next?" he said.
The Mounties said they seized firearms to prevent them from falling
into the hands of burglars in vacated, unsecured areas.
Kvisle's guns were situated in open view because it would have taken
very little to uncover them, said RCMP Sgt. Josee Valiquette.
"It could be in plain view under a bed, in a closet - somewhere
somebody could hide," said Valiquette.
"If they happened to open a closet, it is in plain sight...these
firearms were inappropriately secured."
Kvisle said he's been told a civilian group that oversees the RCMP is
reviewing his case.
"I hope we get some answers," he said.

Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd
By Erin Hatfield
"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your
world is all screwed up, rearrange it."
The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at
the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to
watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if
unofficial, theme song for the debate.
The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as
they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn.
Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue
chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent
left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty,
mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards
the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.
The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was
organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage
of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record
and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.
Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates
responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the
exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices.
Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each
other on their answers and criticizing eachothers' party leaders.
Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the
questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic
relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in
response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's
getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."
Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his
party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but
well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am
on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better
places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters
shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.
The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At
one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in
front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the
voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to
Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second
readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at
final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to
register sex offenders rather than register the property of law
abiding citizens."
The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and
women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman
yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron
spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.
Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy
Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You're out of touch," Armstrong
yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of
post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged
Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time,
anyplace," Armstrong responded.
As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate,
candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and
fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making
process for the June 28 vote.
Cutline - David Amos, independent candidate in Fundy, with some of his
favourite possessions-motorcycles.

The Unconventional Candidate
David Amos Isn't Campaigning For Your Vote, But..
By Gisele McKnight
FUNDY-He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his
wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone
that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."
Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot-David Amos.
The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife
and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from
running for office in Canada.
One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail
to meet Elections Canada requirements.
When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his
favourite place to do so-Fundy.
Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his
dissatisfaction with politicians.
"I've become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he
said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."
The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in
1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he
needed to change his life.
"I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that
sometimes in midlife."
So Amos, who'd lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners
motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952
Panhead motorcycle.
"Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact)
experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you
renew your faith in mankind - you help anyone you can, you never ask
for anything, but you take what they offer."
For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs
and conversation all over North America.
Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son
and a daughter and become a house-husband - Mr. Mom, as he calls
himself.
He also describes himself in far more colourful terms-a motorcyclist
rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed
individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud
Canadian and a "wild colonial boy."
Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.
"But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said.
"It's alright to bitch in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"
Amos has no intention of actively campaigning.
"I didn't appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door
interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can
call me. I'm not going to drive my opinions down their throats."
And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one.
"I won't take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It's
not about money. It goes against what I'm fighting about."
What he's fighting for is the discussion of issues - tainted blood,
the exploitation of the Maritimes' gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to
name a few.
"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs - fishing,
farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I'm
death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it
(NAFTA) out the window.
NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an
easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico.
Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.
"There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me,
especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right.
Don't necessarily vote for me, but vote."
Although.if you're going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have
your X by his name.
"I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and
say, 'what the hell.'"

I am not within your jurisdiction nor do I plan to come back until it is
time to argue mr harper and his cohorts in Federal Court however I may drag
some of you dudes or your lawyers back down to the USA with me to answer me
in the Second Circuit of the USA as to your involvement in the cover up of
many Yankee crimes.
I do not have to answer any questions put to me by Fat Fred Fity 's
Finest about whatever it is you may wish to know about my doings with the
RCMP but you corrupt city cops must certainly answer someday to your support
and cover up of my false imprisonment in the USA years ago.
Louie tell me honestly if you can find it in your soul to do so, why
did you laugh and make fun of my plight? I gave you a fair and square chance
to act ethically. i sent you a lot of material byway of this email address
and i sent it only to you just in case you would act ethically. Now I must
ask were you born an arsehole or did you work at it your whole life? What if
this shit had happened to you? What would you think of you if you were I?
Do you and Chucky Leblanc and the crook Alan MacFee have that sinking
feeling that you pissed off the wrong Maritimer yet or do you think i am the
ultimate loser? If i do lose bigtime I will you sleep at night knowing the
part you played in my demise? If a sudden fit of integrity overcomes you
say hey to your bosses Barry MacKnight, Insp Kelly and S/Sgt Copp for me
will ya and have them provide you with the file that the Police Commission
gave your god damned police force three years ago and start doing some
serious work for a change, will ya? Rest assured a lot has happened since.
The chickenshit S/Sgt Kathy Alchorn can say hey to the not so scary
spooks Norm Plourde and Kevin Jackson and Mikey Guitar and the Louie
Lefebvre character (his name sounds like yours Louie) for me as well. The
very shy S/Sgt. Kim Quartermain can tell the crook MacPhee that I will send
a buddy around to pick up my bike. I will look forward to meeting all you
bastards in court someday but I must remain true to my word and sue Harper first.
Whereas Herménégilde Chiasson, Lieutenant Governor of New
Brunswick, just appointed Acting S/Sgt. Kim Quartermain, S/Sgt. Kathy
Alchorn, S\Sgt. Brian Ford and D/Chief Leanne Fitch of the Fredericton Police
Force, as Honorary Aides-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick
to guard him and the mean old Maison from the likes of me and Chucky Leblanc,
they should have no trouble locating all the documents and CDs that I have
been serving upon all the crooks in and around that house for years.
If you don't believe me just scroll down and find the words of
the former Governor General. While you are reading and listening to this
crap consider what "Al" may do next. As you listen again to the portion of
just one police surveilance tape know that I will him and a couple of his
friends a complete copy of 139 and a few more even if I am falsely
imprisoned again A buddy or two jusst has to drop my material into the mail.
Never forget the nutbag blogger Chucky Leblanc has a complete set of
documents and a CD from 2004 that he did not give to Brad Green as he
promised. Depupty Dog in one of his rants has already informed me that "Al"
is pissed off. It is likely just his usual bullshit but if it were true I
would say Good. Shame on you all and Cya'll in Court.
Veritas Vincit
David Raymond Amos
Whereas Mr Scott the spin doctor for NB Power and John Ferguson of Saint
John both commented that they enjoyed what I said on the dumb Tom Young's
talk radio show over a year ago on Ground Hog Day I will send it again.
Maybe Andre Arthur will enjoy it too. N'est Pas?

N.B. government to await federal probe into possible RCMP wrongdoing May 30,
2007 - 19:47
By: KEVIN BISSETT
FREDERICTON (CP) - New Brunswick Attorney General T.J. Burke declined
comment Wednesday on allegations of wrongdoing within the provincial RCMP.
At least two current and former Mounties in the province are among more than
a dozen officers across the country who have alleged wrongdoing within the
force, including abuse of power, harassment and the coverup of evidence.
One of the published allegations was made by Daniel Bernier, a former RCMP
corporal who lives near Fredericton. He claims he was removed from an
investigation in which he said he found evidence of the misuse of federal
funds by New Brunswick government officials in 1999.
He alleges grants were wrongly approved to farmers.
Once he was removed from the case, Bernier said an internal investigation by
the RCMP was called into his conduct.
"Our government doesn't respond to allegations," Burke said Wednesday when
asked by reporters about the claims published this week.
"We respond to factual information that is provided to us, information that
we need to investigate and look at."
William Gilmour, an Ontario lawyer representing some of the Mounties who
made the allegations, said the current and former members are anxious to
tell their stories, but there must be protection from reprisal.
"We're actively seeking the government to afford a venue in the nature of a
parliamentary committee, where there's some protection for these people,
where they have agreed to come forward and tell their stories," he said
Wednesday.
Gilmour, who is an ex-Mountie, said he has been trying to get the federal
government to call his clients before such a committee for a year, but so
far nothing has happened.
In the Commons on Wednesday, Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day was
accused by the opposition of ignoring the turmoil.
"The Conservative public safety minister's response is to shrug his
shoulders, plug his ears and see no evil, hear no evil," said Liberal Sue
Barnes.
"Is this wilful blindness or gross negligence? When it comes to protecting
the integrity of Canada's national police, why is the public safety minister
thwarting real action?"
Day responded by saying the government is "taking action to get to the
bottom of some of the concerns that have been raised."
Another New Brunswick Mountie, Staff Sgt. Ken Smith, is suing senior
officers at J Division in Fredericton for alleged harassment, but the New
Brunswick government has stepped in and stayed proceedings.
The province has asked the Fredericton police force to fully investigate the
Smith case, which includes allegations of unauthorized use of tracking
devices on his police vehicle.
"For the 30 years that I have had with the police force, my job has been to
go out and investigate crime," Smith said. "To find that we have just as
much crime happening within our organization, which is stopping us from
doing our job, is very troubling for me and for the individuals who have
come forward."
Bernier said he's not surprised to hear that as many as 30 current and
former Mounties would be willing to testify before a parliamentary
committee.
"The country of Canada is quite vast and the RCMP is all over the place, and
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been treated like a piece of shit,"
Bernier said.
Gilmour said the appointment of a new RCMP commissioner with the mandate to
fix the problems in the force could prevent having to launch an inquiry or
royal commission.
In the meantime, he said, the reputation of the force is taking a beating.
"That's really quite unfair to the members on the street who are performing
such a valuable function and putting their lives at risk every day," said
Gilmour. "They don't deserve that and it needs to be dealt with far sooner
than later."
Methinks
Minister Bill Blair and Commmioner Brenda Lucki should expalin to the
RCMP and their lawyers that I do not need their permission to complain
about them N'esy Pas Franky Boy McKenna??

Methinks Roger Melanson was just reminding the lawyer Kim Poffenroth
who appointed her to her fancy job not long before the last writ was
dropped N'esy Pas?
Ray Oliver
Why does Rob McKee look so scared? Did Amos just walk in and challenge
him to a debate?
SarahRose Werner
Reply to @Ray Oliver: CBC uses that photo in any article where they
refer to McKee. I don't think they like him very much.
David Amos
Reply to @Ray Oliver: Methinks your buddies Chuckty Leblanc, former
speaker Chris Collins, his lawyer TJ Burke and everybody else knows
why the only lawyer the liberals have with a seat in the old maison so
to speak was afraid of me BEFORE the last election N'esy Pas?
David Amos
Reply to @SarahRose Werner: Why do you care about a Moncton lawyer you
can't vote for anyway? Are you even a Canadian citizen yet?
Gerry Ferguson
If people can work, go out to the stores, visit families, etc I can't
imagine how voting would be so dangerous.
SarahRose Werner
Reply to @Gerry Ferguson: I've scrutineered for a few elections and
the polling places can get fairly well jammed up at some times of day.
It can be managed, but a trial run in managing it - for example, in
by-elections - would be useful.
David Amos
Reply to @Gerry Ferguson: Exactly
David Amos
Reply to @SarahRose Werner: Methinks it should be fun to ask if you
worked as a scrutineer when I ran in Saint John Harbour in 2006 I
doubt you voted for me anyway N'esy Pas?
Matt Steele
With a minority govt. in place for the past couple of years , and with
three by-elections in the wings ; it would be wise to have a general
election , and clear the air ; because failure at the polls during the
by-elections could topple the govt. anyways . It sounds like many of
the opposition MLAs are scared of an election because they might lose
their seats along with their fat salaries , expense accounts , and
gold plated pension plans .

Reply to @Matt Steele:
Since when was "wise" ever a factor in a NB election?
David Amos
Reply to @Terry Tibbs: Methinks it was on or about the 12th of Never

So, I'm *guessing* that the money irregularities are all "fixed up",
and we are all set to proceed with more of the
same..........................
David Amos
Reply to @Terry Tibbs: BINGO
Donald Gallant
A week with the polls open should suffice for this election.
David Amos
Reply to @Donald Gallant: I concur
David News
If we can consider sending kids to school, opening the province for
travel within the Atlantic Bubble, re opening for business, we can
certainly hold an election.
Not that any of the politicians have shown or stated what they would
do differently. Higgs doesn't have a mandate to deal with the fallout
of Covid-19, the government could easily fall through the 2 by
elections.
One final comment, migrating to phone in ballots is likely a step NB
is not ready for. Cell phone calls are notoriously easy to hack/
intercept compared to landlines. VoIP depending upon the encryption
used by the carrier are also an open question. Opening up phone in
ballot taking could lead to a huge increase in identity theft as
sophisticated criminals could eavesdrop on the call and get valuable
information typically not easily accessible from the call

>> REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT
>>
>> I. Introduction
>>
>> [1] On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos)
>> filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
>> against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million
>> in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial
>> Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary
>> properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety
>> that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian
>> Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan
>> (Claim at para. 96).
>>
>> [2] On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a
>> motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the
>> Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to
>> amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim
>> disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious,
>> and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the
>> Prothontary’s Order).
>>
>>
>> [3] On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
>> Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
>> Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr.
>> Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages
>> for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in
>> 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
>>
>>
>> [4] Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the
>> Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status
>> Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016.
>> As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s
>> cross-appeal.
>>
>>
>> II. Preliminary Matter
>>
>> [5] Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in
>> relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March
>> 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of
>> the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal.
>> This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed
>> had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this
>> Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with
>> several judges but did not name those judges.
>>
>> [6] Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to
>> identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he
>> had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed
>> with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal
>> Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in
>> the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on
>> subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985,
>> c. F-7:
>>
>>
>> 5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her
>> office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the
>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of
>> Appeal.
>> […]
>>
>> 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour
>> d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que
>> les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale.
>> […]
>> 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of
>> that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the
>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.
>>
>> 5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de la
>> Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les
>> juges de la Cour fédérale.
>>
>>
>> [7] However, these subsections only provide that the
>> judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice
>> versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal
>> Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this
>> section.
>> [8] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide
>> that:
>> 3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
>> — Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of
>> Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is
>> continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and
>> for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as
>> a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
>>
>> 3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel
>> fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en
>> français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue
>> à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du
>> Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et
>> continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en
>> matière civile et pénale.
>> 4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
>> — Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in
>> English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an
>> additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for
>> the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior
>> court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
>>
>> 4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de
>> première instance de la Cour fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée «
>> Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est
>> maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et
>> d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit
>> canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant
>> compétence en matière civile et pénale.
>>
>>
>> [9] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create
>> two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court
>> (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal
>> Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no
>> need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by
>> Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation
>> to any appeal from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to
>> file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a
>> decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents
>> that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of that
>> appeal book.
>>
>>
>> [10] Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on
>> March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which
>> Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a
>> conflict in any matter related to him.
>>
>>
>> [11] On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion
>> before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the
>> conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal
>> Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if
>> Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal
>> Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court.
>> Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this
>> cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this
>> Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court
>> will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought
>> before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in
>> relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.
>>
>>
>> [12] During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that
>> the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and
>> submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a
>> conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also
>> afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict
>> that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his
>> view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of
>> documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the
>> documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular
>> judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including
>> copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that
>> such judge had a conflict.
>>
>>
>> [13] The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is
>> that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in
>> 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before
>> that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he
>> had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and
>> therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner
>> of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was
>> personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr.
>> Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he
>> was a member of such firm.
>>
>>
>> [14] During his oral submissions at the hearing of his
>> appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb,
>> focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at
>> Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at
>> the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this
>> particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this
>> lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were
>> after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax
>> Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
>>
>>
>> [15] The documents that he submitted in relation to the
>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between
>> Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of
>> Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb
>> practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between
>> Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May
>> who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The
>> affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails
>> that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a
>> letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John
>> Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson
>> Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to
>> “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street,
>> Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a
>> possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer.
>> [16] Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb
>> was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum
>> Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R.
>> 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a
>> judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable
>> apprehension of bias:
>> 60 In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the
>> criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de
>> Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy
>> Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the
>> reasonable apprehension of bias:
>> … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by
>> reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the
>> question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words
>> of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person,
>> viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought
>> the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely
>> than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or
>> unconsciously, would not decide fairly."
>>
>> [17] The issue to be determined is whether an informed
>> person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having
>> thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations
>> give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has
>> previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will
>> administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be
>> rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v.
>> Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See
>> also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R.
>> (4th) 193).
>>
>> [18] The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v.
>> Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme
>> Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the
>> particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a
>> case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was
>> involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario
>> Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the
>> judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a
>> lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for
>> determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the
>> rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict:
>> 27 Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a
>> finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over
>> which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement,
>> as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.
>>
>>
>> 28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been
>> asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to
>> the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from
>> taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the
>> defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial
>> judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the
>> Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield
>> Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that
>> there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge
>> and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."
>>
>>
>> 29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an
>> inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the
>> different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of
>> judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification
>> of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of
>> conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous
>> involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J.
>> in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.),
>> for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying
>> interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory
>> statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential
>> information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the
>> opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge.
>> His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and
>> had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value
>> unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19.
>>
>>
>> 30 That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances
>> of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a
>> disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are
>> two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to
>> recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept,
>> that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and
>> that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of
>> time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85:
>> To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform
>> the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this
>> involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is
>> the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on
>> circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making,
>> or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making.
>> 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson
>> Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of
>> trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had
>> been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with
>> his former firm for a considerable period of time.
>>
>>
>> 32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter
>> realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly
>> and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because
>> of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement
>> in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage.
>> In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the
>> trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that
>> his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a
>> decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would
>> either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former
>> client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw
>> off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a
>> client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years
>> earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving
>> events from over a decade ago.
>> (emphasis added)
>>
>> [19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter
>> involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or
>> Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it
>> clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the

>> Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for
>> Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with
>> Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have
>> had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he
>> was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any
>> involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had
>> with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is
>> sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since
>> Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would
>> also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice
>> Webb hearing this appeal.
>>
>> [20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R.
>> (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no
>> reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member of
>> the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement
>> with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm.
>>
>> [21] In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4
>> F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a
>> reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a
>> lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who
>> was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as
>> Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr.
>> Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law.
>>
>> [22] Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He
>> stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true copy
>> of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this CD.
>> He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD
>> entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement authorities
>> and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are willing
>> to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an “American
>> police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law
>> enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a
>> conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy.
>>
>> [23] As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable
>> apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for him
>> to recuse himself.
>>
>> [24] Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional
>> experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding
>> the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near
>> confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in the
>> Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself.
>>
>> [25] Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr.
>> Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he alleges
>> that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he wrote
>> a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that time,
>> both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm
>> Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and angry,
>> begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me suing
>> you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the letter
>> was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr.
>> Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason
>> for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does
>> not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.
>>
>>
>> III. Issue
>>
>> [26] The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the
>> Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim
>> in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr.
>> Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick
>> legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action?
>>
>> IV. Analysis
>>
>> A. Standard of Review
>>
>> [27] Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the
>> Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to
>> be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions
>> made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira
>> Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215,
>> 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of
>> this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that
>> articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235
>> [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal
>> Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a
>> prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the
>> case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if
>> the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding
>> error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and
>> law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with
>> a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order
>> if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in
>> determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law
>> (Hospira at paras. 82-83).
>>
>> [28] In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own
>> assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court
>> must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge
>> erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to
>> interfere.
>>
>>
>> B. Did the Judge err in interfering with the
>> Prothonotary’s Order?
>>
>> [29] The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following
>> paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the
>> Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:
>>
>> 17. Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff
>> addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four
>> of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006
>> in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of
>> the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in right of
>> the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the Province
>> or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident alleged
>> does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court.
>> (…)
>>
>>
>> 21. The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant
>> provide no details as to the individuals involved or the location of
>> the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the
>> Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible to
>> determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to advance.
>> A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant to
>> only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At
>> best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he
>> suspects he is barred from the House of Commons.
>> [footnotes omitted].
>>
>>
>> [30] The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim
>> on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge noted
>> that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the
>> liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the actors
>> who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004
>> included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In considering
>> the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified
>> paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it
>> identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as
>> Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at
>> para. 27).
>>
>>
>> [31] The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a
>> cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and
>> identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v. Canada,
>> 2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:
>>
>>
>> [13] As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC
>> 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must
>> determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each
>> element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office:
>>
>> a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful
>> conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;
>>
>> b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her
>> conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff; and
>>
>> c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public
>> officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude that a
>> public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly.
>> Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28
>> (Federal Court Judgment at para. 28).
>>
>> [32] The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient
>> material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in
>> public office because the actors, who barred him from the New
>> Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for
>> “political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29).
>>
>> [33] This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of pleadings
>> in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321
>> D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:
>>
>> …When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to
>> assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or
>> negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did steal”.
>> “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called
>> upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making bald,
>> conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an abuse
>> of process…
>>
>> To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public office
>> requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in carrying
>> out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the public
>> officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or her
>> office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is
>> mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of
>> allegations of “breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind of
>> a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.”
>> (at paras. 34-35, citations omitted).
>>
>> [34] Applying the Housen standard of review to the
>> Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge interfered
>> absent a legal or palpable and overriding error.
>>
>> [35] The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim
>> disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on the
>> basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts to
>> ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which addresses
>> the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP officer
>> engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her
>> conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad
>> faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere that Mr. Amos was barred from
>> the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious reasons,
>> these allegations are not particularized and are directed against
>> non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative
>> Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As such,
>> the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP
>> barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of
>> supporting a cause of action.
>>
>> [36] In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare
>> allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses no
>> reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the Federal
>> Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside the
>> Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its entirety. Further, we
>> find that the Prothonotary made no error in denying leave to amend.
>> The deficiencies in Mr. Amos’ pleadings are so extensive such that
>> amendment could not cure them (see Collins at para. 26).
>>
>> V. Conclusion
>> [37] For the foregoing reasons, we would allow the Crown’s
>> cross-appeal, with costs, setting aside the Federal Court Judgment,
>> dated January 25, 2016 and restoring the Prothonotary’s Order, dated
>> November 12, 2015, which struck Mr. Amos’ Claim in its entirety
>> without leave to amend.
